Chapter 269
A few strands of hair that were behind Maisie’s ear fell to her face. She kept putting them back behind her ear. It was a very common action, but it looked so nice to Francisco.
A leaf fell onto her head, and Francisco froze, walked over but was tripped by the rake, and fell onto Maisie.
He saved himself by holding onto the bench, but his sudden movement made Maisie jump. She turned around and suddenly saw Francisco’s face right in front of hers. They didn’t say anything Wynona, who was standing in the shadows, saw that and punched the wall. She took out her phone, snapped a picture, searched for Rowena’s chat, and sent it to her. At Blackgold Group… Rowena got to the office and knocked. Nolan closed the file he was reading and looked up. “What is it?” Rowena walked to his desk. “I heard the news that Ms. Vanderbilt went into the restricted area yesterday and had to rake the leaves as punishment.” Nolan’s eyes narrowed. ‘Why would she go into a restricted zone? Was she hurt? What are the people in the camp doing? Why didn’t Cherie tell me?’ Seeing his darkened expression, Rowena thought that he was angry at Maisie for going into the restricted zone, so she slowly said, “She’s fine, but—” “But what?” Nolan squinted. “But someone sent a picture to me. I was in a dilemma before I chose to tell you. I’m worried that this might cause a dispute between you and Ms. Vanderbilt.” Rowena put the picture in front of him. The picture showed Maisie and Francisco being ‘intimate’, but it looked like they were kissing from that angle. “I think this picture was to instigate something between the two of you—”
“If it was to instigate something, why was this picture sent to you?” Nolan coldly looked up at her, his eyes filled with suspicion. Rowena turned pale. She lost her cool, and now Nolan was suspecting her. She bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Nolan, I didn’t mean anything. I know that you’re worried about M s. Vanderbilt, so I had someone secretly check on her. I just wanted to give you some updates, but I didn’t expect – I’m sorry.” Nolan took a long look at her and coldly said, “Don’t do anything pointless anymore. You can leave now.”
